Soupault

Soupault is an open-source static site generator and content workflow tool designed to transform plain-text content into a static website. It runs as a command-line application and uses a pipeline-based processing model, where a configured sequence of transformations is applied to source files to produce HTML output.

Content is authored in Markdown, HTML, or other text formats, typically with front matter to expose metadata. A configuration file defines content sources, templates, and processing steps. Templates render pages, and data files in YAML or JSON provide data for lists, index pages, and archives.

The tool supports theming and template inheritance, asset management (images, CSS, JavaScript), and a data-driven approach for organizing content with tags, categories, and navigation structures. The output is static HTML suitable for hosting on traditional web servers or CDNs, with no server-side code required.

Soupault is cross-platform and suitable for personal sites, blogs, or documentation. It is maintained as an open-source project with a public repository, reflecting a community-driven development model.
